The Church of St. George (Macedonian: Црква Св. Ѓорѓи) is a 12th-century Macedonian Orthodox church located 2 km away from the village of Kurbinovo in North Macedonia. Excavations have shown that the building has once belonged to a settlement, which was abandoned at the end of the 18th century for the present-day village of Kurbinovo. According to the research made on the church's frescoes, it is supposed that the church was built in the year 1191 by the Byzantines.[1] The church is a "monument of culture" in the Republic of North Macedonia and protected by law.[2] It is also a part of the Prespa - Pelagonia diocese of the Macedonian Orthodox Church.
